Lowther Cemetery is located beside the Jenolan Caves Road, 12.8 kms. from the turn off the Great Western Highway at Hartley.

History

The Catholic community had acquired land primarily for the purpose of building a church for worship and as a social venue. St. Mathew's was built from pit-sawn timber in 1877 and soon after a small cemetery developed around it. Later, two adjacent sections were laid out as a general cemetery for Wesleyan, Anglican, Presbyterian, Independent and non-sectarian burials. Hastened by improvements to Jenolan Caves Road, this more accessible and spacious Cemetery replaced the much earlier "Lowther Park". The first grave with memorial, Ida Haswell (nee Kirk), is dated 1886.

Most of the pioneer families of the Lowther, Hampton (former name 'Upper Run'), Ganbenang and Kanimbla Valley districts are represented here. These were hardworking, mountain people - loggers, farmers and graziers. Sadly today, only one or two mostly elderly descendants of these once large families still live in the district.

The Cemetery has always been very well maintained by local volunteers. It is administered by Lithgow City Council, 180 Mort Street, Lithgow NSW 2790 Telep (02) 6352 1077 email: council@lithgow.nsw.gov.au
